Change Management Group (CMG), the leading independent management consultancy, has conducted a new piece of research into the effectiveness with which NHS trusts use technology to drive improved operational performance. We invited over 1,000 senior NHS professionals to complete a questionnaire to indicate practices and views within their own trust on how IT investments are evaluated, managed and used.

Key findings:

• IMT is a major anxiety for many trusts
• Senior trust management often lacks the experience to give sufficient priority to IMT programmes
• Many trusts have weak management information, potentially undermining performance improvement and cost control initiatives
• The value and risk of investment in technology is not consistently and thoroughly understood
